What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Maths tuition from Brian at On Track Tuition, based at Tribune Court in Bearsden, features in a consistent set of parent accounts describing pupils moving from struggling with the subject to achieving A grades at National 5 and Higher level, with some going on to Advanced Higher. Several reviewers mention children who were shy about asking questions in class finding it easier to do so in Brian's sessions, crediting his approachable manner for a rise in confidence that then carried through to results. English tuition with tutor Jenny and support from Julie is mentioned by one family helping a daughter through a stressful period of remote National 5 English study.

A handful of reviewers describe the format specifically: small group sessions held in an office setting rather than in the family home, which one parent notes their son preferred, alongside individual attention within that group structure. Remote sessions delivered during periods of home learning are described as straightforward to use and effective. Sessions run on weekday evenings from four until half past eight, with an extended Saturday slot and no sessions on Sunday, serving families across Bearsden and Milngavie.

Brian was brilliant with my son for a Higher resit and I have no doubt the eventual excellent grade would not have been achieved without Brian's input. The weekly online sessions worked really well, and Brian's approach was calm and patient. I have no hesitation about fully recommending his tuition help! J Perry

Brian of On Track Tuition is a seasoned maths teacher who has a great methodology for teaching children of all abilities in a virtual group setting. They will also get the required attention throughout the academic year individually as Brian is meticulous in his approach for each student. Both my children have now completed NAT5 and Higher Maths with A grades and this would not have been possible without the support of On Track Tuition.

Brian is a fantastic tutor and has changed maths from being my son’s worst subject to his best. He started working with my son after he was scheduled to be put into a Nat 4 class rather than Nat 5 as he was really struggling with the course. From that starting point, my son has achieved an A in Nat 5, an A in his higher and is now doing advanced higher which is an amazing result. My younger son has also now started tutoring with Brian in the run up to his Nat 5 exam. We’ve been really delighted with progress and results, and Brian’s input has made such a difference to the exam outcomes. Highly recommended!

I contacted On Track Tuition for my son for Maths. He was doing OK in class but was quite shy & he didn't like to ask questions. I thought he had great potential & it was the best move I ever made. Brian was so approachable to discuss any concerns & made my son feel very comfortable & relaxed in his class. No question from me or my son was a problem & very soon I seen a big difference in his confidence & after settling in to the classes with Brian he excelled in Maths. I was unsure about National 5s, Higher & Advanced Highers but Brian was always there to offer guidance advice & assistance. I am very proud to say my son achieved excellent results & is now studying Aeronautical Engineering at Glasgow University. I have no doubt that On Track Tuition's excellent teaching & approach to learning has contributed to my son's success. I would highly recommend On Track Tuition to unlock your child's potential & give them the best opportunity to learn in an approachable, positive, teaching environment which will assess & deliver based on your child's learning needs.

My son has been working with Brian for number of years. He was struggling with his homework and finding the subject challenging. Learning from Brian has improved his ability to understand mathematics at a higher level. We were all overjoyed when he managed to achieve an A in his NAT 5 and again an A in his higher this year. I would recommend Brian to anyone who needs help to accomplish their potential.

My daughter was awarded an A in her Nat 5 results after maths tutoring from Brian. She went from getting 20% in tests to an A. Cannot recommend Brian highly enough. He is extremely patient and a brilliant teacher. Thank you On Track Tuition.

With Brian’s I help I got an A in higher Maths. The daily drop in calls were especially helpful if I was stuck with any questions and his showbie app was useful for sending Brian questions I was stuck on for him to work through with me. Thanks again Brian
